Will I Live to see 80?

 

Here's something to think about.

 

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?"

 

He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?"

 

"No," I replied. "I'm not doing drugs, either!"

 

Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"

 

I said, "No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!"

 

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?"

 

"No, I don't," I said.

 

He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"

 

"No," I said.

 

He looked at me and said... "Then, why do you even care?"
